What is lawsuit funding?

Lawsuit funding (also names pre-settlement funding or a lawsuit settlement loan) is a non-recourse cash advance against the proceeds of your potential compensation. This advance comes in the form of a check or a wire and is provided to qualified personal injury victims. Essentially, lawsuit funding is a ‘no-win no-pay’ investment into your litigation; thus, it has no risk.

Non-recourse means no risk.

Lawsuit funding is non-recourse since the money is not backed by an asset. To have a loan backed by assets means that a financial institution has the right to take legal action against you and seize on your asset if you default on the payment. On the other hand, non-recourse funding is not backed by assets and tends to have higher interest rates (depending on the settlement funding company) than traditional loans. The good news is that legal funding companies view your expected settlement proceeds as collateral. While this varies by agreement, all legal funding is risk-free. This means that if your case does not settle or you lose, you are under no obligation to pay the money back. You walk with the money.

How does it work?

The approval is based on the strength of your case and your attorney’s consent.

Process

The lawsuit advance funding process is fairly simple. It takes 24 hours from the moment your attorney sends the required documentation to the moment you get paid. We will evaluate your case merits and estimate the value of your pending settlement.

Approval

Next, upon approval, 24 hours later, you and your attorney will get a funding contract to sign. This contract contains the amount, a specified return rate, and payment instructions for when the case settles.

Money

Once you and your attorney sign the lawsuit loan contract, you’ll get a fast lawsuit cash advance. The funds will be sent out to you immediately after we receive the executed funding agreement, either via wire or check.

Repayment

Your attorney will repay the loan when your settlement check is received from the insurance company. Then the balance of the amount will be distributed to you.

Disclaimer: Funding companies use certain requirements before approving a loan. The case must be solid and have a high probability of winning it. The lawsuit loan interest rate can go from 1.5% a month to 3.4% a month non-compounding. For settled lawsuits, a minimum settlement of $50,000 is required for funding. Your attorney must agree to help you get funding. Without your attorney’s consent, you cannot get pre-settlement funding.

ADVANTAGES

Accident lawsuits can be expensive, stressful, and time-consuming. Injuries from a car accident or any other personal injury can leave you financially crippled. Lawsuit advances help plaintiffs cover living expenses. They are an excellent option to get quick access to lawsuit cash.
Good credit or job history are not requirements for the advance. A settlement advance is based solely on the strength of your case.
Funds are released in as little as 2 hours from approval.
You can get advances from $1,500 up to $750,000 depending on the strength of your claim.

DISADVANTAGES

While, in theory, legal funding sounds like an amazing financial product, there are things to be aware of:

Most lawsuit advance funding comes with high interest rates. Most lawsuit loan companies charge higher interest to make up for the risk of investing in your case. Please make sure the rate they show you on the contract is the rate they promise.
Most lawsuits take a very long time to settle, and rates can pile up quickly over a year or two. You should make sure that you are aware of the interest rate, if it compounds, and if they offer a rate cap. A rate cap means that your loan will end in a certain amount of time and you should not pay any more interest after that time even if your case settles in 5 years. Without an interest rate cap, your interest can maximize the repayment amount over time.
